Exactly. I'm all for dropping Giveplan from the AQ scenario for many reasons. We've put the last AQ behind us, and I don't want to reopen that can of worms, but as the originator of the tactic in question I have to object to the term "abusive." We obtained Havok's approval before we employed it, and he supported us throughout.
"Exploit" -- yes. "Abuse" -- no.

Methinks I touched a nerve there.

In all seriousness, I'd forgotten there might have been some sensitivity on the issue, and probably shouldn't called it "abusive".

It's somewhat of a complement to your level of playing that you can take the "features" of a game or add-on and utilize them in a manner most other players have not considered. Well done, sir.

Regardless, since GIVEPLAN will not be used in this game it's sort of a moot point.

Well, I heard a rumor that Klauser REALLY likes that ship icon editor
for WinVCR!

True statement - a GREAT little ap. I'm working towards updating the SFB shiplist with it. The only downside it that you have to render the ship graphics down to 50x50 pixels, and still have them look decent. But that's not the fault of WPVCRHelper!
